Habitat For Humanity Vision

While volunteering at Discovery Challenger I have exclusively worked with a blind man named Geno. My service to the Discovery Challenger Program has positively affected the community in that the athletes that required a helper were able to have me as one despite the limited number of volunteers who helped the athletes. Another community service I committed myself to while in high school was the club Life is Delicious. Life is Delicious is a club that between two and three times Year members of the club cook a warm meal at the high school, and then some go to the St. Vincent DePaul Homeless Shelter in Waterbury. At the end of my sophomore year I was named Co-President of the club. As a member of the club I went to all of the cooking and serving activities and was able to help the homeless of Waterbury by giving them a warm meal. The most impactful service I performed in my opinion was during my junior year when I was the organizer for the Penguin Plunge. During my junior year I thought that it would be a good idea for the basketball team to do the Penguin Plunge in order to raise money for Special Olympics Connecticut as I had done so in the previous two years. So, I approached the athletic director

I volunteer for many organizations because I am currently in clubs such as HOSA and Key Club. For HOSA, we volunteered at God's Storehouse. God's Storehouse is a small, local community center that helps citizens in the local community to gather the necessities they need. They take donations for clothes, food, and even toys. Us HOSA members went around Thanksgiving. We helped with hanging and organizing clothes and rearranging toys and placing them in the proper places. What I really enjoyed the most about this experience is seeing the wonderful smiles on the faces of the people in need. I was very blessed to have the luxuries in my life. It feels even better to give a person in need happiness. I would love to volunteer for God's Storehouse

A volunteering experience that holds a lot of meaning to me was being able to participate in a FCCLA Students Taking Action with Recognition (STAR) Event called Advocacy. As part of my class assignment, my partner and I first had to research a need in our community, state, or throughout our nation and then “advocate it”, or make it know, as well as find a solution. Our research quickly showed that Texas was ranked fourth in the nation for the number of children living in poverty and our own county was ranked 116th out of 264 counties in Texas for the number of children living in conditions below the Federal Poverty Level. This project went from being a class assignment, to a volunteer experience that positively influenced and changed my life in so many ways.

Volunteering to feed the homeless is truly an eye opening experience to what reality is. There is an estimated one hundred million homeless people in the world who are starving and are trying to find a way to survive. On a day-to-day basis, we see homeless people everywhere such as on the streets, by the freeway asking for money so they can feed themselves, or maybe even feed their own family. One day, my mom and I decided we had to take action after witnessing so many homeless people on the streets.When people are in such a difficult situation, their only option is to beg for money because they have no roof over their head, and no food to eat. Many of these people are suffering from their own decisions, unemployment, or for other personal reasons. There are many homeless people who are sick and suffering from severe mental illnesses. It breaks my heart seeing homeless people in the streets, so I knew I had to take action and help out someway. The experience of volunteering to feed the homeless was most certainly a life changing experience. It made me realize how grateful I am for my life, how important it is to help those in great need, and to never take a meal for granted or roof for granted. This event was one that happened in the spur of the moment but has also changed me as a a person by becoming more involved and helping out more in my community , learning to never taking anything for granted, and by not assuming all homeless people are bad people as such.

I started volunteering in February 2018 at the Jubilee Center serving the homeless in an urban area of Hollywood, Florida. I prepare foods, package and distribute vegetable and meat bags, sort and package donated food and serve meals to the patrons. Volunteering here I have learned the lesson of humility and continue to refine my purpose of serving my community. In addition, I have enhanced my communication skills by working with a diverse population. I am continually learning about the needs of the community and enjoy talking with people from all walks of life.

I have strove to make a difference wherever I can. As volunteer at Christian Assistance Ministry I witnessed the overworked conditions that the social workers and volunteers faced. Worn from these conditions these dedicated workers had no respite from their daily work of feeding, clothing and providing funds for the homeless

With this press release we kept in mind the information we displayed in the last press release. We made sure to take note what worked and what didn’t. Rather than making this press release about Habitat for Humanity-Wartburg College in general when narrowed in on an upcoming even for the student organization. The press release included the who, what, where when, and how. The quote included is directly fro the student organizations president, Megan Roedel, inviting students to join while also talking about the importance of the cause. We also included different ways to contact the organization in order to cater to the audiences needs.

Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) envisions a world where everyone has access to affordable housing (Habitat, 2015). Habitat seeks to break the cycle of poverty by partnering with low income families to help build a decent, affordable home. Habitat was started in 1976 by Evangelical Christians as a non-profit organization that built affordable houses for families in need (Baggett, 2000). Habitat offers a sweat equity program that requires the homeowner to dedicate 300 hours of labor in building their home and other habitat homes (Habitat, 2016). Through the sweat equity program, Habitat aims to make homeownership possible to the economically disadvantaged. Habitat provides this service by offering affordable homes in safe neighborhoods

Since my Freshman year I have done many things that I think were good for the community and myself. For example my church has always given me opportunities to help out. I have done many things for them which has made my experience so great here. Every time I have a chance to help out i do it whether it be feeding the homeless,helping out at fundraisers, or retreats. I started to get more involved during 9th grade because that's when catechism started and it started to interest me more than it used to. I never knew how much help I could be until they showed me what I could do. I started out by going to feed the homeless with my church members and family. Overall it has been great experiences for me since then. I try to go as often as I can because there's people who rely on what they get

The two most impactful volunteer experiences I have had are working at a food shelf and tutoring. The main reason why those two were so impactful were because I got to see such a huge amount of hope and growth within both groups. When I volunteered at the food shelf I made connections with not only the workers but the people who came as well. I got to hear how these men and women of all ages have persevered through such difficult times. That experience not only gave me hope that I can get through any difficult time but it also allowed me to acquire a different perspective on life. As for tutoring I loved getting to see the kid's personalities grow. However, there were some difficult times if I am being honest. This volunteer opportunity allowed

Habitat for Humanity traces its origins to the time Linda and Millard Fuller spent at Koinonia Farm in 1965. The couple had a successful business in Montgomery, Alabama before they started a new life of Christian service.Habitat for Humanity, is an international, non-governmental, and nonprofit organization, which was founded in 1976. Habitat has been devoted to building "simple, decent, and affordable" housing, a self-described "Christian housing ministry," and has addressed the issues of poverty housing all over the world.The international operational headquarters are located in Americus, Georgia, United States, with the administrative headquarters located in Atlanta.

I volunteered through the Social Sciences Club on campus to participate in Project Homeless Connect. My job during this event was to be a homeless advocate and walk the person I was assigned to through all of the booths set up for them. I was there to make sure the man I was assigned to went to each booth and listened to the information that was provided in order to help him find out what options he had. I enjoyed my time meeting this man and learning more about him as we went from booth to booth. I was able to hear some of his story and be there for him as he went through this setup. I was with him for the entirety of the event and spent time with him as he played bingo with the group and enjoyed his morning. I can't say that I made a huge

The most personally impactful of my community service has been the work I have done to benefit those with intellectual disabilities, and special-needs. Some of my involvement includes coordinating and volunteering for the annual Kids with Disabilities Fishing Day event in my hometown, raising funds

She has concerns about her recent follow up with her OBGYN. Her baby is breeched the ultrasound showed his spine is a lot better. She returns in 3 weeks to look at the spine again. She attended Dr. Wilcox’s office to take her glucose test. She has not received the results back.

During my freshman year of high school, I wanted to do something more meaningful than the previous volunteering I had done in the past. Most of my volunteer work had been with children, and although those experiences were worthwhile, I wanted to do something to help those less fortunate. So, when my best friend mentioned that her mother was involved in a dietetic association food distribution, I volunteered immediately. I felt like it was important because the economy in our area had declined recently, leaving many without a job and food on the table.
